Lavrov tells Europeans to ‘sit in a hotel’ amid Russia-Ukraine peace talks

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rejected European Union's demand for a ceasefire, accusing it of trying to “buy time for its client (Ukraine)”. He said trilateral talks, at US suggestion, were focused on Ukraine's future security architecture and that of Russia and the wider region. Lavrov added that European representatives in Abu Dhabi could “sit in a hotel there”.
